If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen some of my photos from our stay in the Hudson Valley. We rented this entire house for less than what a tiny hotel room costs around here, and it was on a beautiful, snow-covered property complete with an icy pond and deer tracks abound. I didn't spot any deer until our last day, but I got pretty excited every time I saw their little prints. We went antiquing, played with little Miku in the snow (she was born for it), and explored the general area. If you're ever looking for a nice little getaway outside of the city, I highly suggest checking it out. It ended up being exactly what we needed. I have a lot more pictures to share from our trip, including sooo many of tiny Miku having the time of her life. Turns out, we all needed a little bit of nature in our lives.

The title of your post made me smile! I do have an ugly sweater, it's something I always wear for some extra Xmas spirit ;)That place really seems to be magical, I can't wait to see your other pictures!xo

I don't think the sweater is ugly at all. You styled it perfectly!! Anywho - I am definitely missing the snow, I hope we get some before spring but it's not looking good with these mild temps creeping in every other week!

I grew up in the lower Hudson Valley. Definitely a beautiful place that not too many people are aware of. Actually, most of New York state really is beautiful and a sharp contrast to the five boroughs!

I like your outfits with the yellow cape that your mother fished out from a dumpster so much. I hope you don't mind that I put some of these outfit pics on my blog when I did a post about capes. If you don't want to see your photos on my blog drop me a line and I will remove them immediately.
